There are a few problems. There is no doubt about that. It’s well worth making it clear that there are problems. No point in hiding them. It’s also good to know a little about how those problems have come about and how we perpetuate them. That can be very useful. For all that though, something […]
Read More It’s Not Just About Showing The BadMoses said, “This is what the LORD has commanded: ‘Let an omer of it be kept throughout your generations, so that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’” (Exodus 16:32 ESV) It’s easy to criticise the behaviour of the children […]
Read More Exodus Extracts 16 – Moaning and MercyThe posts I write on here have the ending “For His Name’s Sake”. That tagline is written because I endeavour to make sure what I write on here is for the sake of the name of God. To me it doesn’t have to be overly deep and serious for His Name’s Sake. Humour and God […]
Read More Is Church Like Business As Usual?Some things in life require gradual change and some alterations here and there. I enjoy people talking on things as a project and slowly but surely changing things to reflect their vision for something. As you’re aware I’m a football fan. (Oh you’re not aware? Well now you are. Oh and if you’re from the […]
Read More The Need For Patience For The Necessary ChangesKingdom. Mission. Discipleship. Community. Family. These are very important. To succeed in these areas at all is not just about the personality. It’s not just about the individual. It’s not just about that person at the front. It’s about the interdependent connections.

Read More It Will Take A TeamAnd Miriam sang to them: “Sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.” And the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?” (Exodus 15:21, 24 ESV) People are fickle. You have just witnessed the act of the mighty forces of the super […]
Read More Exodus Extracts 15 – Praise & GrumbleThere’s this way of thinking that I notice a few Christians have. How it operates is that whenever something horrific happens to them, they justify it in their minds in the same way that Joseph got over the betrayal of his brothers when he was sold to Egypt. When his brothers later on were a […]
Read More God With Us In Our Suffering: What If That’s All There Is?And Moses said to the people, “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again. The LORD will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.” (Exodus 14:13, 14) The epic nature of […]
Read More Exodus Extracts 14 – Shut Up Before The WipeoutIf it was up to me, I would choose to spend most of the day indoors. In fact the work I do and the gift I exercise legitimately gets me to spend most of my time indoors. So that’s sweet for me. Better still, though, I love spending time indoors on my own. Reading, watching […]
Read More Open The Door And Take A WalkYou shall therefore keep this statute at its appointed time from year to year. (Exodus 13:10) People make a big deal out of the first day of the year – new year’s resolutions and all that kinda jazz. Which is fair enough. The real big deal that we make after that is the first day […]
